Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is it to fill out the FAFSA?
Most students can complete the FAFSA in under an hour if they first gather the documents they’ll need, but those with more complicated situations may require more time. Fortunately, lots of free assistance is available if you need it. Talk to a school counselor, contact a college financial aid counselor, or even reach out to the Federal Student Aid Office.
Am I eligible for financial aid?
FAFSA results will determine if a student qualifies for need-based financial aid; foundations, businesses, organizations, and colleges determine their own criteria for money they choose to award, and individual lenders make individual determinations about the students to whom they offer loans.
What are the differences between grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study?
Grants and scholarships need not be repaid. Grants almost always require demonstrated need; most scholarships, but not all, do not. Loans require repayment, and work-study requires the recipient to work on campus or in the community. Loans and work study are often referred to as self-help aid.
How do I find scholarships for college?
Lots of students begin their scholarship search with sites like this, which list and link to about 70 free online scholarship search sites. Individual college websites are also a good resource, as are high school counselors, college admissions, and financial aid counselors. Students should also seek out so-called affinity scholarships offered by employers, civic and fraternal organizations, state-sponsored grant programs, and private donors.
Is financial aid available to students in online degree programs?
Yes, students enrolled in online degree programs can qualify for scholarships and grants.
